WEST VALLEY CITY — The death of a man whose body was found in the back seat of a car parked at a medical clinic is being treated as a homicide by West Valley police.

Officers were called to Granger Medical Clinic, 2965 W. 3500 South, about 5:15 a.m. Wednesday on a report of a vehicle in the parking lot on the south end of the clinic with its lights on and the back passenger door open, said West Valley police spokeswoman Roxeanne Vainuku.

In the back seat was a deceased man who had been shot.

Police were still investigating Wednesday whether the shooting happened in the parking lot or somewhere else, or if the man was shot inside the car, Vainuku said. Detectives were collecting surveillance video from the clinic to look for possible evidence.

The victim was identified by West Valley police in a tweet as 27-year-old Juan Jose Zamora Guerrero. Police said that the investigation into Guerrero's death is ongoing.

No arrests had been made as of Wednesday morning.
